Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account has a number of records that allow it to perform properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records set through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (employing a domain name for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and so on. Having access to these records and by having the capacity to modify them, you can have your website with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for instance. This offers you more independence because you can select the best provider for every one of these services and you don't need to stick with a single company. After you choose a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely as some companies have an extra fee for this function.
